above and below the median : second from three-fourths of costa to four-fifths of 

 inner marj^iu, bent outwards beyond cell ; costa slightly paler grrey, with dark 

 speckles, which are more or less coalescent along tlie median area ; tlie liver-colonred 

 striae of the central fasciae extend along all but the costal urea to the base ; fringe 

 liver-colonr ; two small black dots before margin below apex. 



Hhuhcinqi : similar, but greyer : fringe grey, with small black marginal dots. 



Underside much jmler grey, wth reddish fuscous speckles. Head and shiiuhlers 

 pale grey; top of i)alpi and face darker; thorax liver-c<ilour('d ; alidoiuen grey, 

 mottled with reddish. 



Expanse of wings : 33 mm. 



One ? from Penang, January 1897 (Curtis). 



It is impossible, with only the 5 known, to locate this species for certain. 

 The hiudmargin of forewings is strongly bulged below vein 4, thence sharply 

 oblique inwards ; there is a small blunt tooth at vein 6, the margin above and below 

 it being somewhat excised. The hiudwings have the hindmargin somewhat irregularly 

 crenulatc thronghont. In appearance and scaling it comes closest to Corotia 

 cervinaria Moore, next which I would provisionally place it, tliough that species 

 has the hindmargin of forewings entire.
